Details

The AquaFarm is a self-cleaning fish tank that grows food! The natural waste produced by the fish is pumped up to the plants, and broken down into nutrients the plants need to grow. The clean water then cycles back down to the fish tank, creating a sustainable tabletop ecosystem.

Inside the AquaFarm

The AquaFarm works as an aquaponic system. Aquaponics is an an ancient, sustainable method of farming that combines aquaculture (raising aquatic creatures) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil). It uses 90% less water than traditional farming.

1) Fish produce ammonia-rich waste

2) Beneficial bacteria in your AquaFarm convert the ammonia into nitrates. These naturally occurring bacteria grow best in the plant pots

3) Nitrates are great food for plants! As the plants continuously uptake nitrates as the nutrients they need to grow, they are also cleaning the water for your fish

We recommend keeping one large male betta fish in your AquaFarm. Feel free to add decorations to the AquaFarm as bettas enjoy places to hide and swim around. Please consult your local pet store on the preferences of your fish to make sure their home is a happy one!

nice idea and cool design, but what I ask myself is: how does the fish feel - so alone, without a stone or little cave to hide, a plant to play around and a friend or partner? Wouldn´t it be much more nice to give him a companion? Does your system succeed one more inhabitant and a waterplant?

Best regards

We recommend keeping one large male betta fish in your AquaFarm. If you’d like to keep more than one fish in your AquaFarm, we recommend following the 1-inch of fish per gallon rule of thumb. 2-3 fancy guppies or zebra danios are other recommendations of ours. Please consult your local pet shop about stocking a 3 gallon tank.

Leafy greens and herbs grow best in the AquaFarm, and we include organic wheatgrass and basil seeds in each unit. Alfalfa, radish sprouts, parsley, cilantro, mint, arugula, mixed greens, and other varieties of basil also grow well in the AquaFarm.
